Harmonica intro on F#
Verse#1
When mama pushed me thru daddy said my do
Was quite the shock
Claimed I cried like a dog bayinâ at the moon
Verse#2
Slung my hips about, learned to twist & shout
Way before I could talk
And by the time I saw nine I started to croon
pre chorus
Then I beat those skins day out day in
I broke my poor mamaâs head
Couldâve fared better in school but I was cool
So I joined a band instead
Chorus
Iâm a knight of the road
Iâm a bird of passage
Only passing through this land
A boy born with a twinkle in his eye
And a tote bag in one hand
I âm a dreamer, a lover, I ainât no other
Than a Gypsy rollinâ along
Yea I came into this world
And Iâll go out with a

Verse#3
Iâm one side king, other side fool
I wear a straw hat for a crown
The long and lonesome road is home sweet home
Verse#4
So I hang my hat, wherever Iâm at
A few loyal subjects gather round
And toss me a coin before itâs time that I roam
pre-chorus
I love to put on the dog, hog the spot
Lord gaveth me no shame
So if you donât much care for my general flair
Ainât none but heaven to blame
Chorus
Iâm a knight of the road
Iâm a bird of passage
Only passing through this land
A boy born with a twinkle in his eye
And a tote bag in one hand
I âm a dreamer, a lover, I ainât no other
Than a Gypsy rollinâ along
Yea I came into this world

Took my castles in Spain, my fifteen minutes oâ fame
I buried it six feet deep
Along with a few choice pieces of at tire
At times I take eight by tens from way back when
nd throw them into a great big heap
I watch them burn while I dance around the fire
pre-chorus
Cause itâs a joyful thing to beat my wings
And let the caged up bird go free
Before I turn to dust to put my trust
In something bigger than me
Chorus
Iâm a knight of the road
Iâm a bird of passage
Only passing through this land
A boy born with a twinkle in his eye
And a tote bag in one hand
I âm a dreamer, a lover, I ainât no other
Than a Gypsy rollinâ along
Yea I came into this world and
